Of all odd things, what bothers me most about using CPAP is filling the water tank every day. I know this is ridiculous; it's just annoying for me. When I travel, I use a Transcend with a Heat Moisture Exchange Unit, which someone linked to earlier in this thread. I tried it at home first, and so fa...

Thanks to those who have tried it and reported to us. I've seen the pictures, and the tiny footprint of the hard case with the AirMini inside. What I haven't seen anywhere is what the hose looks like and how small it can be packed up. I assume the hard case doesn't include room for the power cord, t...

I have both. I got the Transcend humidifier so that it would be a backup home machine, but I travel without it. For the time that I'm away, I'm okay without the humidity. I tried the Transcend in its different set-ups (with and without humidity, on battery and plugged in, etc.) at home first. I foun...

Thanks, Julie. The DME sent me a H5i Standard Tub, which I think is for a ResMed S9. I have an S10 (from the same DME). They sent me the correct one but said not to return the wrong one, and they didn't charge for the replacement. It's in its original sealed pouch. I'm in North Jersey, as we say, so...

I know there's a thread for mask parts, but I've acquired a humidifier tank I don't need and I don't know what to do with it. Brand new, sealed. Anyplace that takes donations mentions machines, tubing, and humidifiers, but nothing about tanks. If I can give it away to someone local, that would be my...

Good to know, thanks.

I've been having an interesting night and morning. I substituted the Dr Reddy generic for the Glen Mark, and I slept. My PAP numbers were nice and low, and I know these are reliable results because I actually was asleep. (I double-checked my sleep time/quality with a fitness tracker sleep app I've u...

Cpaptalk to the rescue again. I have not had a decent night's sleep in about a month, for no reason that I could see. I never thought to check my generic eszopiclone (although I've had similar issues with other drugs for other conditions.) I've been taking a generic made by Glen Mark, according to t...

Okay.

I acquired a SoClean, kind of, and I used it for a couple of months. I'm hardly a germophobe, but I do have a compromised immune system, and it was early in my CPAP use, so I didnt yet know if the water/vinegar thing would do it for me. It does. It feels cleaner and smells cleaner than it did with t...

I had pre-check too, but in Bangor, that only meant I didn't have to take off my shoes. They only had one line. I think it is smaller. The carrying case is about half the size of the Resmed's case. (Again, this is without the humidifier.) if I put it into my carryon instead, it wouldn't be the bigge...

My regular machine is a Resmed Airsense 10, which I love. I wanted a backup machine with a battery that I could travel with; I got a Transcend about 2 months ago, and just came back from my first trip with it, so I thought I would share. Overall, I am very pleased with it. I didn't bring the humidif...

I took Ropinerole for restless legs. I would not take it again for several reasons. The 1 mg dose needed to be increased from time to time, to a max of 5. When that lost effectiveness, I would have to go off it completely for one (miserable) week, and then start again at 1. I had to do this maybe tw...

I woke up this morning with the feeling that my mask - Dreamwear - was slightly askew and blocking one nostril. I jiggled it a bit to no effect, and then I realized that what woke me was a noise, almost like a clicking, coming from the mask. I woke up fully and took my mask off, only to have it drip...

I have no trouble connecting my Climateline to the Dreamwear, but as someone else mentioned, there's a bit of a drag at the top of my head that way. I use this short hose https://www.cpap.com/productpage/circadiance-sleepweaver-feather-weight-cpap-tube.html because I happened to have it on hand, for...
